In order for you to understand the song you have to listen to his whole album. He pretty much walks you through his life when we was in jail, when he got out and what happens afterward. So he is not condoning it he speaking about the mistakes he made in his life and how is his on the road to greatness! Next you have the listen to Phoenix ! So please don't judge if you don't understand everyone wasn't perfect and everyone didn't come from a great life and we all made different choices !!
markeshia garner He wants that hurting heart that dry inner man he wants to water it and that persons name written in the scroll called the lambs book of life. Saved an filled, praise Judah's lion and our Savior. His love never dies thy anchor holds though ship is battered!
King Z I was listening Lyfe today at work and I pretty much uttered the same words. Lyfe really wanted to uplift us. And he did. I just wish it would have caught on and inspired more artists to follow his lead. But we went right back to music that's so negative that I can't even listen to the radio for literally 10 seconds.
For real, now it's Chris brown, and other so called r&ab singers that are putting fake crap out here. Now white people are taking over and making better music than them even if it isn't really coming from their own personal struggles cause Justin timber lake didnt really go through what he said he did, but that song still relatable and deep, but fake. Look @ robin thicke, he can sing, I ain't racist but that's sad asf. That's y I want to be an r&b singer when I get older. Hope more people in my generation wake up and do the same.
this makes me want to cry...my sons...one whose record is so long he can't get a job... one doing time & trying to change, the another stabbed 14 times, & lived, angry at God & doing a 17. Church... I'm in but what about my boys... and other young men who have made mistakes, those trying to change...those looking for hope... and if they won't come into the church... what church is going out...in the hoods... out on the corners. the whole earth is mourning for the sons and daughters of God to come forth...
It's more than church sometimes even church ain't the answer. There's alot of hypocritical people at church that why Lyfe made the song called "Made up my mind" I don't know what the answer is but church ain't necessarily it. It's changing for the better every individual has different inspiration you can't force religion onto someone. You gotta let them find themselves and help them with good advice but don't pressure them they are their own people life is hard but I know church is not always the answer there's alot of fake people at church.
Lyfe Jennings is a story teller his music it's the hard core truth of growing up in the ghetto & he is actually an example that you can change your life if you believe in your dream! His music
Alot of people can joke about the meaning of his songs but they are real. They touched me in so many ways it's not even funny. To be honest, this man songs is really saving my marriage. He's powerful. Luv ya Lyfe.
Talent comes in all shapes and forms... Just cause a person has a tough life and jail time... Dont mean they cant come out on top like Lyfe J. Did.. im proud of him.... This song is very true and god bless all brothas out there maintaining....stay strong
Pandemic has it where I can't go see my brothers!! Had to listen the entire cd for the 1000 time!! Eased my mind a tad bit, I was able to tap into their spirit. Thanks Lyfe!!
i bet is just few of you guys remember how he got famous the first time was at NY at Apollo and people feeling him on the spot born to be real lyfe poet R n B dude...my brotha Lyfe
My testimony. Me all day ... Love this song and it still speaks ... Being desperate will cause you to do things .. And searching for God and can't find him will leave you lost ... Beenthere done that. The jealousy of someone's success and the heartache of the ghetto life will cause you to take it. Why have all that and be selfish ... Robbing those that flossed never bothered me I ate my friends ate we evened the scales this is My young thinking ... But in the world no without help and dicippeship like in the end of the video we continue a wicked cycle Just like now ... Thank God for Jesus.
I love him, love his albums, I love tha fact he's not afraid to sing about the troubles and struggles of everyday life...This man touches my soul more than any other artist I ever knew. MG, when I think about his Trials and Tribulations, things in ones own life seem so petty...If everyone in this world were to express themselves in this fashion ...Maybe just Maybe there would
I feel this way being a single mother it is hard out here bodies dropping like flies . I feel you Lyfe we all go through times like this . you state true facts always
Man me and my road dogg 2Much use to slap this in the trenches and talk about our dreams, we survived a lot and I’m still tryna find. My way but I can proudly say my brotha doing his thang the right way
Everybody makes mistakes as part of life we live and we learn! He's telling his story his ups and downs in life just like everybody else I love this man!!
8 people dont know how hard it is to talk about how hard yo pass is. dats wat i luv about Lyfe. he aint afraid 2 tell the whole world about his life and wat he been thru
+kenneth loftis Bro it aint worth it and you said it right there be strong for your wife and little girl. that's a grown man comment and I salute you for that. Just added you to those I pray for my dude
+DWAYNE GRAY good words bro encourage those feeling like there's no other way we all get struggles the devil tests up but God will never put anything on you that you can't handle blessings to all
Lyfe, your music hasn't gotten old!..this coming from an 18 year old fan You are a humbling example that there is good music out there, with a beautiful and honest message accompanying it. Truly looking forward to your upcoming album. God has blesses you :) God Bless
I truly admire Lyfe and his struggles to becoming and became a better man. I listen to his music and I truly i again admire his his life changed. May god continue blessing and keeping you safe
OG R&B Classic Album. Saw the bro in concert when he first came out 9 years ago. Saw this bro again this past Friday night, another great show. I'm going to knock the dust off this CD and ride to this shit again, love it.
Coming back to the original music that created reality. I'ma rapper that idolize by old head rappers and real brothers come from a dangerous world. This songs dedicated everything about the fame in life 🙏🏾🔥
i wil be so glad when Lyfe gets out so he can get busy in the studio again,one of the most talented and real cats out there,told the truth about the grit,grime and rawness of the street and life in general
Once I got out and I heard this it was so relatable that It brought me to tears my life was so fuckedup that I couldn't help but to play this over and over.Now my life has changed.but I will never forget.Hope everyone that relate is doing well God hears you when u talk and he provides but the need to change is also part of your behalf.if u have ever been thru a through time and whatever you might have done the good lord will forgive.I pray for everyone that has ever gone through these tough time I pray that everything in your life is going well.EVERYONE OUTHERE KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND KEEP TRYING.ONE LOVE🙏
We had this album and enjoyed every song cause he was keeping it real. It's always amazes me how we Christians or worshippers of the Lord are so judgemental. The heavenly father said it best how can we love him who we haven't seen but can't love our brothers and sisters who we see daily. Alot of times we are some of the biggest hypocrites. I pray daily for forgiveness of all sins commited knowingly and unknowingly cause I myself have been guilty of it. I'm a work in progress. May God forgive us!
That is wonderful to hear, it will be a long journey but if you let go and let God he will never leave you. It is an amazing day to understand that you are worth more that you are someone great, always believe in yourself. God bless you
Still to this day the only nigga that can pull off a soulful ballad about robbery!
😂😂😂😂
Mo3 daddy
Bruh I just thought that shit🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😢
Lyfe lowkey birthed the new gen of angry street R&B
Man this album was a dope store of his life.
this brother is a REAL lyfe dude. i can relate to his music...i had the opportunity of meeting him. solid kat.
nice
+Jonathan Aldridge Agreed
real talk
I feel u
I met him too and of course got his autograph he is laid back and cool like I thought he would be.
The mindset of a man in the struggle facing so mush temptation, a strong resistance is key. I like this song
